As the sun rose on Sunday, thousands of runners packed into Fort Wadsworth, a 226-acre park on the eastern shore of Staten Island, where the New York City Marathon was set to kick off. It’s my first time doing the New York City Marathon or any other marathon. My run club has this checkered shirt that is inspired by New York taxi cabs but also the finish line flag. I wore it for my first marathon and that went well, so I guess it’s a good look. This is my 18th marathon, but my first time doing it in New York City.
